are astonishedto find that most OF them
died of apoplexy, of paralysis of nervous
prostration, ,of malignant blood humor,
of Brights disease. OF rheumatism or of
heart disease, Of kidney disease, or OF
pneumonia. -s. on
1t is singular thstsmostRf our prom
inent men die of these disorders. ANY
journalist who watches the telegraph
reports will be astonished at the num-
Der Of prominent victims Of these dis
orders.
Many Statements have appeared in
our paper with others to the effect that
the diseases that carried off SO many
prominent men 1886 are really one dis
ease, taking different names according
to the location of the fatal effects
When valuable horse perishes, il
becomes a nine days talk of the sporting
world, apd yet thousands of ordinary
horses are dying every dav. their ag-
gregate loss is enormous, and yet their
death creates no comment
So it is with individuals. The cause
of death of prominent men creates com
ment, especially when it can be shown
that one unsupported disease carries
off most of them and yet "yast numbers
of ordinary men and women die before
their time every year from the same
cause
It is said that if the blood is kept
free from uric acid, that heart disease,
paralysis. nervous prostration,. pnen-
monia, rheumatism, and many cases Of
consumption, would never be KNOWN
This uric acid, we are told Is the'waste
of the syste,n and it is the duty of the
kidneys to remove this waste.
/ We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept out of the bloo',
and these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in large
measure disappear.
But how shall this be done: 1t is fol.
" to treat effect. If there's known way
of getting at the cause, that way should
be known to the public. We believe
that Warmers safe cure of which so
much has been written, and SO much
talked of by the public generally. and
which can be obtained of dealers every
where, is now recognized by impartial
physicians and public as the one speclt-
ic for such diseases.
Because public attention has been d.
rected to this great remedy by means
of adver rising some persons have not
believed in the remedy. We cannot
see how Mr.. Warner could Immediate
ly benefit the public in any other
way, and his valuable specific
should not be condemned because some
nostrums have come before the public
IN the same way, any more than that
all doctors should be condemned because
so many of them are incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
YOU h EAR on every side of that great
reuedv, and public opinion thus based
upon actual experience, has all the
weight and Importance of absolute
thruth.
At this time of the yclr, the uric
acid in the blood invites pneumonia
and rheumatism, and there is not a
man who does not dread these monsters
of disease but he need have no fear Of
them, we are told, if he rid the blood
of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may
sound like an advertisement, and be re
Ijected as such by unthinklng people
but We believe they are the truth, and
as such should be spoken by every
truth loving newspaper.
